Watching the past

[gooff32.livejournal.com]

Spike and Buffy are in his mind or somehow watching events of Spike/William's past. The last event they watch is his parent's house burning and William not running in to save his father. William didn't want to save him because his father was not a nice guy. I think William might have walked in on his father messing around with another woman, perhaps a maid.
Thanks for help with this one.

Could it be "Sumpathy for the devil" by Comedyoferrors?

"Response to Challenge #155. AU after the first scene in Crush. Out on patrol Spike gets stung by a glarghk guhl kashma'nik demon and becomes lost in his memories. In an attempt to find out what's wrong with him, Buffy goes inside his mind and discovers the truth about William the Bloody."

uri6,
I am 95% sure that in the fic you are suggesting, William is sad for the death of all his family members, including his father. In the one I am trying to remember, william, who was older, maybe in his early twenties, wasn't sad that his father died in the fire.
I really appreciate the effort on your part though. Thanks!
